Wednesday 9/12
We'll, buck in July we'd set an informal goal to be home today, and we made it... just not the way we expected. With help from Enterprise rental trucks, we towed Elf to my yard from Brant Beach New Jersey where we had stashed Elf on Saturday at probably the most hospitable yacht club you will ever find. It's not the triumphant return to our slip in Annapolis that we had envisioned, but we've been spared the misery that four days of mostly rain and fog would have inflicted. Plus, there's more rain in the forecast the next few days as well as the uncertainty of hurricane Florence coming up the coast over the weekend, bringing potential catastrophic flooding..
All in all, we're happy to be off the water with ready access to showers, refrigeration, and juice for our devices. But there's hope that we'll get to enjoy more long cruises in the future.
I spent my childhood in the summer about 10 blocks from that Brandt Beach YC!
